For enrolling students, the IEO will prepare a Certificate of Eligibility (COE), a document issued by the Ministry Of Justice which makes you eligible to receive a student visa. You will submit this document to your nearest Japanese Embassy / Consulate for visa processing. Any concerns or questions that students may have during this process can be answered in detail by contacting the IEO directly.
